Camp Notes:
We entered at South Hegman in the rain, and arrived at Beartrap just as the sun was going down and the rain finally stopped. The portage from Trease to Angleworm was not well maintained, there were times we were not sure we were still on the right path. The Beartrap campsite was a lovely respite for my wife and I. Beautiful views and solitude. Didn't see another soul for days.

Private and isolated! The site was nice and large with great views and good tent pads.

Camp Notes:
I am pretty tough when it comes to rating campsites but this one is probably as close to a 5 Star as you can get. The site itself was nice with a great kitchen layout along the water. Lots of room to move around close to the shore for fishing opportunities. There are probably 3 good spots for tents. We didn't stay here (instead choosing the site by the portage to Thunder Lake so we could easily access both lakes). The reason I give it a 5 Star is it is on an excellent little walleye lake and with no other campsites it is about as close to a true wilderness experience you can get. You probably won't see to many other people on this lake if you are lucky to snag this site.

A great site and one worth venturing to if it's open. Secluded, a great view to the west, loons around the lake, and just a great place. We were lucky enough to find this site open for 2 nights in late May and camped there both times. Walk out to the peninsula for some nice views of the lake.

Camp Notes:
This was one of the best campsites I have ever seen. The tent pads were phenomenal, and the gorgeous red pines were beautiful. The latrine was full to the brim, but I'm sure that has changed since 2005. The view from the campsite is impressive because the water was crystal clear. This was the first five star campsite that I had ever seen. I did not stay here, but I wish I would have.

Great site, room for up to three tents (maybe one more if you squeeze it in somewhere). The view was good and the best part about this place, to me, was the solitude. There was some old logwork involved in making level tentpads but the elaborate setup in the earlier picture is gone. If you want to camp in the Thunder/Beartrap area, check out this site, it is the best option.

GREAT site. Canoe landing not too bad. Woke up to deer in camp two mornings and saw nobody until the day before we left. OK fishing on the north side of lake. SOLITUDE.... Probably get more than 4 people in the site, but less is better. Latrine needs work.

Was just here and it would appear that some of the original logwork is missing now, but still a SUPERB campsite. We caught walleyes all day long on Rapalas off of the south side of the smallest island.

Multiple tent pads, excellent fire area (boy scout built?), decent fishing right off the site (walleye), great sunsets.
